Like a bunch of other people have said in their posts, this is my first poetry class I've ever taken  as well. I have always been interested in poetry because I think its a very beautiful form of writing.  In middle school my English teacher encouraged us to be creative, and one of my poems ended up being published! However,  in high school my teachers never made it a point to examine poetry, so I am really excited to learn all about it.

My favorite part of being in this class, even though it has only been three weeks is watching my writing evolve. As I look back on my first muse write it was very weak and made little sense, and now I am starting to use some fundamental elements of poetry in work, such as iambic pentameter, and meter.  I have already started attempting to revise my poems for our portfolio project. One of the poems I have revised is below.
